About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment.

I asked myself this morning "After all this, what is there beyond thoughts and sensations? What am I looking for? Why am I looking for something? Why do I feel this pull to look for something to fix?"

It's what Michael Singer says about surrendering, right? Every moment is okay, however it presents itself to you. And you get so many opportunities to practise throughout your everyday life. Thank you for this video.

A couple months after my husband of five years (partner of 9 years) dumped me, I remember feeling like I was in a sort of vise of victimhood. Just a total conviction that I had been thrown away like garbage. And then suddenly, this other thought came up that said "I DON'T WANT TO BE THIS." And instead of being angry at my husband for dumping me, I sort of let go of the belief that I had to be this victimized self, that I was required to think of myself as someone to whom anything at all had been done. And I think I knew a little more deeply what it means to be "born" and "reborn" in Buddhism. I don't know if this was "awakening" as such, but it felt like I'd leveled up just a bit. So much suffering and tension is maintained by the continual effort to define and redefine who one is in a conventional autobiographical sense.

Oh boy, waiting in lines and traffic frustration are great examples for me! One day I realized that I’m part of the “problem” as I am the line and traffic. Lightened up immediately. I almost cheered! Thank you so much, Angelo.

I loved how you pointed this out in another video about your dog, that she couldn't think of reality being different than exactly what it is. And just because we humans can imagine it, we suffer. That stuck with me the last few days and now this video really hits the target :D Thank you so much, Angelo, I had to cry from relief. ❤

I’ll try to remember this when I’ve dropped my daughter off at the airport. Already the narrative is in my mind, imagining saying goodbye, the tears and feeling anxious for her safety as the miles separate us once again. The long lonely drive home to a quiet house and sadness of wanting things to be different.

Thanks Angelo! One of my favourite videos. Very helpful. It helped me let go of the frustration and find a bit more peace and enjoyment. Because, this is where and how I am and I can't change anything/do anything unless that's my destiny... So, the ego is being educated and the quality of the dream is improving.

It's funny, a lot of those every day frustrations, especially ones having to do with getting delayed for one reason or another, unless I'm actually going to miss an appointment or a bus that I've gotten a ticket for, etc, I generally have stopped getting frustrated with. I just figure that it's all just life, i's not like the delay means I become unconscious, and that additional time is just added time for me to appreciate presence. This isn't 100% of the time, but it basically used to be almost never. Mainly I take the attitude that while things are different than my original plan, who's to say that this reality is any worse than my imagined one, it could be way better! But I also worry that a little that this kind of "thinking away" the frustration is maybe, at least in some cases, just my mind's way of avoiding having to feel difficult emotions? I don't know, I generally have a tendency to try to avoid feeling those, so I'm always on the lookout just in case I'm doing some fancy rationalizing that's quick enough to avoid the feelings rather than just feeling them...

I understand that if a person is affected, for example, by a neurodegenerative disease and a form of dementia, his awareness or "what he really is" etc., is still intact, because he is not the mind, the mind is "inside" what it really is. But... can such a person wake up? In other words, is the mind somehow needed to do this? I ask this question both as an analogy and as a real case

Awakening is when you only want to do this” it’s all i love just being sometimes it feels like the gravitational pull of the whole universe is just keeping me stuck on this bench, staring at trees! Somehow I managed to get my kids to school and fed and some work done, but sometimes I think how much longer am I going to be able to do that oh boy …… but Angelo or someone I have a question, are not sensations in the body something that sometimes should be paid attention to? At least we’re certainly taught that from a very young age to tune into the body or how do you feel and all that sort of stuff. And it seems to guide us. I mean with the moment even look the way it looks right now, had we not paid attention to hunger and looked for food so that our species could survive?? It feels like everything is causeless and simultaneously completely interdependent. How can this ever ever come to rest?

What leads to teachers speaking from their direct experience saying things like "its right infront of your face" but neglecting the steps often needed to get there, despite having them selves followed a specific form of practice for years?

Sorry man i feel like this awakening journey ... And what i understood when I saw your video tittles it made me feel like Awakening need so much hardworking isn't natural? For me I always feel like Hot and cold about awakening Questioning about who's being real about this. Because i didn't want to fail or mess up and watch my time line gets destroyed because i chose a wrong path maybe Or listening to somebody on the internet. To be accurate i feel like a ping pong ball between these spiritual teachers. But some of them are truly touch something in me made me agree deeply like ur channel and so many others I'm aware that there's something bigger but my survival instinct still running in Auto pilot. End of seeking? Let go and surrender to unknown? What to do in life I learned so much about mind and soul for like 1 year and half ago maybe less But there's always something inside me telling me There's something wrong about me. Anyone can mislead me easily because i trust so fast Excuse my Random thoughts this comment i know it's messy

More pieces seem to be falling away, more insight, more enjoyment in feeling instead of avoiding. The good and bad thoughts, only thoughts. It feels very auto-pilot and doesn't feel to have an approach.. this is just 'happening,' or is it? Without thought, who knows? Haha! It is so obvious, how was it ever so enrapturing? Every reaction/emotion/concept is obviously fabricated. The walls were made of paoer, just needed a little push to get through, excited to see whats further in!

Boy is this true. I was being absolutely dragged down by some kind of dread about talking to a particular person. (A good person who appreciates my support but is also utterly draining.) And I am "robbed" lately of my old coping mechanism of distraction. Going directly, deeply into that dread, as if that dread filled the whole universe, was the only way forward. I did a similar thing with a heaviness that's been on my heart for decades. I let it have full spectrum reign. I let it do and be exactly what it was. Not easy at times. "Wounded animal" is right. But then after a while it loses any sense of "good or bad." I feel a real shift today. A kind of emptiness that's a little intimidating -- the ego abhors a vacuum -- but I feel lighter. Some degree of reactivity is just gone. I feel like I'm on course to blow away on the wind.

Strange timing. Just going back over the Kevin Shanilec videos. It's time. It's really interesting too. I kinda wonder if from a certain perspective (or at least internally) 4th and 5th Fetters are really the bulk, if not all of "shadow work". Recognizing that this can hold anything and needs nothing. Ultimately it doesn't matter but my inner mathematician and poet likes finding alternate ways to say the same thing. 😂

Ok but who is doing the setting aside? Isn't it just trading one story for another one? Havinf said that, I think there's value in bringing you back to here and now. There's no need to accept it or to have your mind tell you where that feeling you just had came from (that would be another story), but to just be here without the need to change anything whatsoever. Things are the way they are. We're looking for that which is here right now, but seek the answer in the past or the future in the stories our mind tells us, thus overlooking the most obvious thing which is staring us in the face all this time ;)
